4.1.3 Reset to default settings (only Airway Man W)
To reset the manikin into the default settings press the power button for more than 10
seconds. The manikin will reboot with the default settings.
Detailed information about the default settings can be found in the Directions
for use for the Ambu CPR-Software.
5. Preparation for training
The manikin is normally supplied in a special carry bag which, when opened, folds out to
provide a mat for the trainee during training.
When supplying as a full body model, the legs will be in a separate carry bag.
5.1. Carry bag/training mat ②
Unfold the bag. Make sure that the manikin is firmly secured to the training mat by
inserting the fitting on the training mat into the recess high up on the back of
the manikin.
5.2. Mounting the legs on the torso ③
Pull down the trousers a little around the hips. Place the legs in a position so that the 2
dowels on the hip part can slide into the corresponding dents at the bottom of the
manikin's body, see 3.1.
Press the two Velcro straps firmly to the body, see 3.2.
To remove legs pull off the Velcro straps and the legs will be disengaged.
5.3. Monitoring Instrument
Activate the instrument by depressing the catch. In case the instrument is not activated (pulled
out), no damage is done to the manikin nor to the instrument during chest compression.
5.4. Carotid pulse ④
Fit the tube with bellows onto the tube connector.
The instructor can now activate the carotid pulse manually by compressing the bellows.
5.5. Adjusting chest stiffness ⑤
The stiffness of the chest can be adjusted as required by loosening the thumb screw on
the back of the manikin: For reduced stiffness set to 'LOW' position, for increased stiffness
set to 'HIGH' position.
The values shown, approximately 6 N/mm (0,6 kg/mm) and 11 N/mm (1,1 kg/mm), indicate
the force, which must be applied to compress the chest by 1 mm.
Example: Compressing the chest by 40 mm at the 'LOW' setting, a force of approximately
240 Newton (24 kg) must be applied.
The normal setting is 'MEDIUM' corresponding to approximately 8,5 N/mm (0,85 kg/mm).
